    A FATHER-of-five died of injuries from a road traffic incident in Hertford, an inquest confirmed yesterday (Wednesday February 22).

    David Alderson

    But coroner Edward Thomas could not say if the death of David Alderson, 66, was accidental, as the driver who hit him in Welwyn Road, Sele Farm, has never come forward.

    The body of the Welwyn Garden City resident was found by a cyclist at 6.50am on July 27 last year.

    Collision investigator Constable Edward Peachment told Hatfield’s coroner’s court it was believed David was struck by a large vehicle which launched him over the fence, but it was unclear which way he was facing.

    He said the motorist would have realised they had hit something.

    The retired lorry driver was last seen at Peartree Surgery in Welwyn at 5.30pm the day before, but his actions between then and when he was found are unknown and so is the time of death.

    He failed to attend his Jehovah’s Witness meeting that night, but may have thought it had been cancelled.

    He had planned to watch television, having marked out programmes in the TV guide.

    A man matching his description was seen walking on the road towards Welwyn Garden City at 7.30pm.

    At 8.45pm, regular road user Michelle Merison saw a woman aged about 50 wearing a flowery skirt and two young men hovering where David was found, with a car on the other side.

    His family are desperate for anyone with information to call the police.

    Mr Thomas said: “I implore anyone who knows anything about it or remembers seeing David to give their information. We want to piece together his final moments.”

    I hope the person who hit him comes forward.

    Accident or not, the witlesses are going to use this to guilt everyone into attending every boasting session no matter what. And it will spread to every Kingdumb Hell in the world, just to "warn" people that missing meetings results in getting hit by a car.

    What they won't say is the number of witlesses that get killed trying to attend the Kingdumb Hell or while out in field circus. Drive to the Kingdumb Hell, get hit by a drink driver. Go out in field circus, get hit trying to cross the street to start your time. Get tuberculosis at the door. Get attacked by a dog. Get shot at the Kingdumb Hell (or blown up) because someone tries to shoot or blow the place up (and it only takes one person to do this). Get trapped in the Kingdumb Hell because, due to faulty wiring, there is an electrical fire. Fall down stairs trying to reach a house in field circus because the stairs are in bad condition. Get mugged while out in field circus. The list is endless.

    Besides, the senseless waste of time. Those who live are subject to endless waste of their lives. Get up, go in street work. After street work, go out in field circus all day. Go home, rush to change. Go to boasting session. Prepare calls for next day. Then, repeat. They get nothing else besides living in stagnation. At the end of their lives, they are destitute, having nothing to show for anything. They didn't develop their talents. They never took the opportunity to do anything for themselves or society. This is probably as bad as getting hit by the car would have been.

    Not to mention those dying trying to follow washtowel doctrine. The no-blood doctrine has resulted in many deaths, including children. The no organ transplant rule between 1967 and 1980 also killed many witlesses, including children. And, how many witlesses have died of preventable diseases? This is ongoing--and not just because of vaccinations. I wonder how many of them in Nigeria, where Bible studies in the name of the washtowel are way ahead of the developed countries, go to those studies and catch hepatitis [insert letter], AIDS, tuberculosis, or some other disease not even found in the temperate latitudes. Yet, they must go to those calls and take those risks or they risk getting destroyed.

    I'm sure they will have this account related at many conventions.

    Four JWs were killed a few years ago in Texas when their car slid off into a pond on a Sturday morning and they drowned- I don't recall any JWs saying- "if only they had skipped the field circus, they would still be alive- 5 JW elders were killed in a plane crash as they were flying in a brother's plane to attend a JW building meeting- If only they had decided to take the bus, they would still be alive-
